Black Boy White School
Hardback Edition: 1
Ant has never been outside of East Cleveland until he gets a scholarship to a boarding school in New England. When his best friend, Mookie, is shot and killed in a drive-by, Ant realizes its either get out or end up dead. His favorite author, Stephen King, lives in Maine - maybe theyll run into each other and Ant can show Mr. King one of his own stories.Instead, Ant finds that life at Belton Academy is far from perfect: Stephen King is nowhere to be found. Ants roommate is a lazy stoner. The freshmen get hazed, and people are shocked when Ant sticks up for himself. Everyone calls him Tony and assumes hes great at playing basketball. The girl Ants crushing on doesnt think hes black enough. He doesnt fit. Yet Ant doesnt feel he belongs in East Cleveland anymore, either. Is there a way for him to remain true to himself?
